I got 12 correct... Damn, the car lug nuts is damn unfair. My car has 4, bigger cars have 5. Stupid question. Edit: Crap, I thought I got the fan right. So from 13 to 12... My fan spins counter clockwise too...
I've got 9 too. but hey... not everything is the same standard for us here in M'sia. Like my fan... it's rotating counter clockwise!
13 Every merry-go-round from my youth could turn both directions. also my FM dial extends to 87MHz a good thing as the classical station sits at 87.3MHz.
Yeah, and my FM radio goes down to 87.5, I'm pretty sure of that. And fans can rotate either way depending on the orientation of the blades Also, all the Venetian blinds I've seen have the chord on the right
13 have to think like an american On which side of a women's blouse are the buttons? i thought inside or outside 17. How many lug nuts are on a standard car wheel? 5 american question american cars usually have 5 ... we have 4 ..
17. How many lug nuts are on a standard car wheel? 5 That's a hard question for Americans as well. I think in todays current models of cars in the US, 4 lug nuts are more the standard, but years ago in the days of the big HP cars, 5 was more of a standard. Times are a changing.
to think bout it .. its quite true especially when japanese cars are getting popular... i would say ... american designed compacts & bigger cars would come with 5 lug nuts eg. dodge neon japanese designed mid-size & above will come with 5 lug nuts eh. honda accord, latest honda civic, toyota camry
LOL! That's natural since it's a US-centric test. If you come up with a Malaysian-centric, everyone else will feel the same. Still, it's a good example of how much we fail to notice stuff that are so common in our lives.
oh crap, i tot the first line.. "can you beat 20" was one of the Qs too i took a long time to figure out yes or no
